Super Cool Flying Boat

I probably don't need the "Super Cool", do I? 'Cause a flying boat is pretty awesomely cool on its own. This is a waterbomber stationed out at Sproat Lake on Vancouver Island. There's a whole set of pictures of this lovely aircraft at this Flickr site. Go and drool.

Flying Boats. WHY did long-range jet aircraft have to be invented? I'd travel WAY more if I could take a DAY to cross the Pacific, on comfy seats with well-dressed passengers on something like this baby, rather than squeezed into "Economy" seats for nine hours of HELL.
